Our bags are packed

Another decoration that I liked at The Poacher restaurant in Ballina, Ireland, is what you see in the photo. Obviously, it means if it’s morning, it’s time for coffee but once it get to ‘pm’, then break out the wine glasses. In about 90 minutes, our son will arrive to take us to Dublin airport. Then we fly to Dubai, and have two hours to change planes to fly to Perth where Vince’s brother will meet us. I won’t post again till we’re back on home soil. My bag is packed, I’m ready to go – that would make a great line in a song! (That’s a joke.)

Cute wall hanging. You must be just waiting to get back. East West home is best.

We had our first sleep in our own bed last night but I didn't sleep much. I've made an early start here today.

Do you have a method to make sure you don't experience DVT due to long flights? Like do you get up every hour and walk around?

I know I should do that but I vfeel very conspicuous so I don't. I did have those support knee-high stocking things.

That would be the way to tell time in most households. I hope that you have a safe trip together, it is a very long journey. I look forward to reading a post from you when you are back home safe and sound.

I could easily have that sign hanging on my wall. It's pretty cute. Thanks for the good wishes. We're safely home now and pleased to be back in our own bed.

Is the month up already?! Seems like you just got there. Have a safe flight, don't get abducted in Dubai, and land safely in Perth. Then when you get to your own home, be glad it's still standing and not trashed.

Such a board wouldn't be that hard to make really. It's a pity we sold most of our wood-working tools.

How long are both legs of the flight?

The first leg was 7 hours. We changed planes in Dubai. I think that was a 3 or 4 hour stopover on the say home (only 2 hours on the way there) then another 11 hours to Perth.

Have a safe travel. It's a long flight. You're flying on a jet plane and you don't know when you'll be back again, but we will be here when you come back,
